1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

BACKGROUND Sjögren's syndrome is a chronic, systemic disorder of an autoimmune nature, and its primary etiopathogenetic events are not known. Previous studies have found elevated incidence of malignancies in patients with primary Sjögren's syndrome. However, there are few reports regarding the association of Sjögren's syndrome with skin cancers, especially with multiple skin cancers developed within a short time. CASE REPORT We reported an unusual case of a patient with primary Sjögren's syndrome who suffered from rapidly developed facial and neck skin cancers within two years. CONCLUSIONS Sjögren's syndrome associated with skin cancer is rare. Our case report suggests that Sjögren's syndrome patients require continuous follow-up with conventional cancer examination, including skin biopsy for suspected skin lesions.
